Dan Fogelberg - Next Time lyrics

One too many days I've felt forgotten And one too many nights I've slept alone. And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten I tell myself I'll try a little harder Next time. Sacred are the ties That love entrusts us Even if they fray Before they bind And I'm afraid I never Did you justice So I'm going to feel my Love a little stronger Make it last a little longer Next time. (Chorus) Next time I ain't gonna fall on my knees And come out of love emptyhanded. But next time I'll be even harder to please When will the next time be? (Repeat Chorus) One too many days I've felt forgotten And one too many nights I've slept alone. And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten I tell myself I'll try a little harder Play my cards a little smarter Next time. wo-hoh-NEXT TIME
